Safer crossing on Pinfold Street Darlaston

The crossing outside Darlaston Health Centre, Pinfold Street Darlaston is a vile and dangerous crossing. I myself have had near misses from being run over and my children being narrowly missed in the pushchair. Drivers drive down this road dangerously, without being aware of the crossing. Today a baby has been hit, and has some severe injuries. This is not the first incident regarding drivers and this crossing.

On many occasions I have witnessed myself the careless drivers racing up and down the road, passing the crossing when pedestrians are waiting to cross. Something needs to be done to prevent this from happening again. I am not the only person who has had near misses.

Not only is the crossing dangerous, it's in a very awkward place from both directions for drivers to see anyone standing there or waiting to cross.

Im hoping by doing this petition Walsall Council will look further into this and making our streets safer.
